Title: long time lurker, have a squint at the new wheels
Post by: tampon on 15 September 2008, 13:39:07

Hello all, been looking at his site for a few months after it was recommend to me on pistonheads.

Finally bought myself one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130254089101&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003

I feel pretty happy with that.

Just a quick one to sat hello to all, I am based in west london and do upholstery  ( not cars commercially though ) so if anyone needs help with a sofa or chairs pleae feel free to ask.

Are there many owners round the heathrow area ?

Also why are Omega call migs or miggys ?

And does anyone know where I can find the specs for different models ( I am pretty certain that the CDX model comes with cruise as standard )

Cheers

P.s. I have a thread running in general help if any can offer advise as to what to look for regarding my new car.

Omegas are referred to as migs or miggys cos that's a shorten form of part of the name ... kinda .... Omiga

That make sense.

As for the name, it is my rugby club nickname, injured quite a bit a few seasons ago so they said I was like a tampon, in for 1 out for 3. It stuck unfortunately, now I don't even think about it.

Welcome aboard. Omega nicknames explained now. Either are equally acceptable but mine are Migs ala they're large cars hence "Big Mig". [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Hello and welcome, CDX have cruise as standard, unless someones swaped the stalk, easy to fit back on a TD.
